Two of these 11 men were my uncles, my mom’s brothers.
They were executed by firing squad for opposing the new Islamic Republic regime.
Their trial was only 30 minutes long. They were convicted of being “counterrevolutionary” and executed in Sanandaj.
The photo took captured one of many brutal moments in Iran and won the Pulitzer Prize.

Mine was condemned to death and executed by firing squad in Tehran in 1981 for attempting to fund a coup as he opposed the religious rule and believed in the separation of church and state. The family was close to the monarchy and did everything they could to fight against the Islamic Republic. Fighters at heart, fighters forever. 🦁✊

Article this week by @BeerInsights sharing alcohol sales & @happydad 2026 growth!
"Happy Dad had the best growth trend of any top 25 supplier with $$ up nearly 40%."
Starting Off On a High Note: 7 of Top 10 Suppliers and Brand Fams Growing YTD $$ in Circana MULC
Talk about a bounce back to start the new year! After one of the beer industry’s worst years on record, Jan 2026 scans are some of the best we’ve seen in at least the post-Covid era. And while we knew things would be good with beer $$ up 3.5% and volume +2.1% for 4 wks thru Jan 25 (see Monday’s issue), there are plenty more pick-me-ups to go ’round in the latest full set of Circana multi-outlet + convenience scans.
All 4 of the top beer suppliers grew $$ yr-to-date, including AB +4.2%, Constellation +7%, Molson Coors +0.7% and Mark Anthony +6.2%. As did 7 of the top 10, with Diageo Beer Co up 9%, Kirin-Lion +6% and Yuengling up 7%. Even those that were down weren’t down all that much: Boston Beer malt bevs -3.6%, HUSA -2% and Pabst dollar sales off just 1%. Number 11 and 12 suppliers in good shape too as Sierra Nevada $$ grew 6.4% and Geloso kept hummin’ right along at +9%.
STZ gained the most share, +0.6 pts, followed by AB and Mark Anthony each up 0.2 pts and DBCo up 0.1. Athletic also gained 0.1 share with $$ up 19% to start the year, while Happy Dad had the best growth trend of any top 25 supplier with $$ up nearly 40%.

Tesla builds massive chip fabrication and solar manufacturing facilities. Those chips and solar panels go into SpaceX’s AI satellites. xAI develops and manages the AI. That AI helps Optimus development. xAI uses Tesla Megapacks at its datacenters to smoothen out power fluctuations. Optimus becomes capable enough to do construction, so SpaceX ships Optimus to help build on Mars. There are so many organic synergies between these companies across data, hardware, software, and manufacturing.
